Mac Carr, a freshman football player at Oak Harbor High School, took part in the 2015 International Bowl Saturday, Jan. 31, in Arlington, Texas.

Carr played on the USA U-16 team which lost to Team Canada 34-17.

Carr, 15, was selected to play by attending a USA Football regional camp in Everett. That earned him a trip to Los Angeles for the National Development Games where he was chosen for the USA U-16 team.

Only 250 athletes were picked for the five age-level squads.

The members of the U-16 team met in Dallas Jan. 27 to prepare for the game.

Carr, a wide receiver, caught one pass for seven yards in the game. Team Canada scored 21 points in the fourth quarter for a comeback win.

“It was fun,” Carr said. “I really enjoyed the experience. It was awesome to be able to represent USA in international competition and to catch a pass in the same stadium the Dallas Cowboys play in.”

Carr, the son of Marcus and Deborah Carr, said he plans to try out for the USA U-17 team this summer.
